I think I forgot to mention that I recently published a new story. “Pinky Anderson And The Traveling Flea Circus” is now out in Paperback. The digital version will go live on July 4th. Kind of like a birthday present to poor, naive Pinky.

On another note, I should finish up with a compilation of short stories before the end of the summer. I’ve decided to title the book “The Lady In The Pink Underwear.” There’s story in there about a lady in pink underwear.

Hours of operation have been ten to six, or thereabouts. The only time any of them have been closed on Wednesday has been when the barber was on vacation, and you always knew that well in advance. Typically it was around the start of hunting season or a weeklong fishing derby, things like that. Continue reading →

Robert Fulghum, in his book All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten, brought to light something that all of us who attended kindergarten probably learned, but, most likely, have forgotten. As we get older we tend to put aside some of those things that we learned earlier, since they do not apply to us now that we are adults. I’d like to share these words with you, here, and let you decide if only some of these things apply, or, just maybe, they all still do: Continue reading →
